The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is packed with exciting rewards, but earning them isn't a walk in the park. One of the trickier challenges involves breaking and then repairing an object. Here's a detailed guide on how to accomplish this task in *The Sims 4*.

How to Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4

During Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event, you're tasked with raising your Handiness level to 2 or higher, which is straightforward. However, the challenge to repair a broken object can be frustrating due to the lack of clear instructions on finding a broken item.

Since the game doesn't indicate if there's a broken object in your world, the best approach is to break something yourself. While you could use the "prank" option on an item, this requires a specific Trait, which might be a hurdle for casual players. Instead, opt for the simpler method: overuse an item until it breaks.

A cost-effective choice is The Ambassador toilet. Being one of the cheapest adult toilets, it's more prone to breaking. Use it repeatedly—about a dozen times—and it will start malfunctioning, spraying water everywhere. You can do this yourself or have guests use it, but either way, you'll have a broken object in *The Sims 4*.

With your Handiness skill at level 2 or higher, approach the broken object and select "Repair." It will take a few moments, but you'll successfully fix the toilet, stopping the water waste and completing the Blast from the Past challenge.
